CLINTON C. HANCOCK, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

NECK-SCARF.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 228,460, dated June 8, 1880.

Application filed March 8,1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CLINTON O. HANCOCK, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Neck-Scarfs, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a rear view of the neck-scarf embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a rear view of a detached portion, the parts being separated.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

My invention relates to a neck-scarf known as a long scarf, adapted to be worn with a lay-down collar; and it consists in constructing the head of the scarf of two pieces, forming a V or bifurcation, and inserting a bifurcated shield thereinto, in such manner that it rests snugly in position. The fabric of the head is not gathered or wrinkled, and the two pieces of the head cross each other and continue as or form continuations of the aprons, as will be hereinafter set forth and definitely claimed.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the head of a neck-scarf, and B the aprons thereof.

The head is formed of two pieces, ma, and each piece is connected to or continuous of one of the aprons B. Each piece is lined on the back, the pieces and linings forming pockets b b.

The two pieces a a are applied to each other, and crossed and properly united by stitching, and, if desired, a ring or other ornamentation may be pinned to the scarf to cover said stitch- G represents a V-shaped or bifurcated shield, one limb of which is inserted through the inlet 0 into the pocket b, and the other limb is inserted through the inlet 0 into the pocket I), thus bracing and supporting the two pieces 66 a or head A. The lining of the piece a is now drawn over the inlet 0, so as to conceal and cover the same, and properly stitched to the lining of the piece a, this operation also closing the inlet 0. When the fastening-loop d is drawn through the lining of the piece a the scarf is complete.

It will be seen that I produce a neck-scarf adapted for lay-down collars, having a head which sets well under the collar, similar to a scarf having a neck -band, and is crossed. There is no gathering or wrinkling of the scarf fabric either in front or rear of the angle of the V, and, while the head is formed of two separate pieces, the shield, with two limbs, is formed of one piece of suitably stiff material, and thus well sustains the head and preserves its shape.

Having thus described my invention, wha I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1.. The V-shaped shield in one piece, in combination with the head A, formed of two separate pieces, a a, and the aprons B, continuous of said pieces, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The V-shaped shield, in combination with the head A, composed of lined pieces a a, forming pockets 2) b, the pocket I) having an inlet, 0, and the pocket b an inlet, 0, both inlets.
